LaTex Equations

  1. \(y = \beta_1 + \beta_2 x + \varepsilon_1\)
  2. \(\mu = \displaystyle \frac{\sum\limits_{i=0}^n{x_i}}{n}\)
  3. Miscellanious stuff
    1. \(\sqrt{x} \quad \displaystyle \binom{k}{n} \quad \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}\)
    2. \(A \cup B \qquad A \cap B \qquad A \in B\)
    3. \(\Delta \verb/ or / \delta ?\)
    4. \(\displaystyle \int_0^{\infty} f(x) \quad \displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}\)

      1. Wow. Look at all that LaTex
